I was looking through the web and couldn’t find a plugin that would pull my GamerCard information and add it to the Sidebar widget so I got creative. Here is how I did it :

1. Go to Presentation > Sidebar widgets (This assumes you have the Sidebar plugin installed)
2. Drag the ‘Text 1′ widget from the pool in the bottom and add it to Sidebar 1. If you don’t have a Text widget or are already using one then in the ‘Text Widgets’ section add increase the number by 1
3. Click on the ‘Text 1′ (or Text # - where # is some number corresponding to the text widget number) and add the following :

<a href=”http://profile.mygamercard.net/[yourgamertag]“>
<img src=”http://card.mygamercard.net/gel/[yourgamertag].png” border=”0″>
</a>

Make sure you replace [yourgamertag] with your actual gamer tag. Here is what my code looks like this :

<a href=”http://profile.mygamercard.net/mordani”>

</a>

You can also generate the above code from http://www.mygamercard.net/

Click on the thumbnail below to see what the text widget looks like (during setup)

And the final result is… (Yes - your gamer card)
